Why did Senator Grassley single out the six churches and their so- called “televangelist” leaders?
In statements to the press, Senator Grassley has indicated that his questions were based on reports from watchdog groups, whistleblowers, and the media. No substantiation has been provided related to these reports. Kenneth Copeland Ministries believes that the primary basis for Senator Grassley’s inquiry is information provided by Ole Anthony, the leader of the self-proclaimed religious watchdog group, The Trinity Foundation. Ole Anthony has a long-standing and personal animosity for ministries that spread the Word of Faith message and, in particular, for the six ministries targeted by Senator Grassley.
